I truly believe that it’s to do with the medical profession refusing to listen to women. We all have stories about how long it takes to get a diagnosis because everything is boiled down to “you’re a woman and women complain too much”. It took me eight years to get PCOS diagnosed, and when I finally did, the original…

Why do you say that? I would have thought that if it was #sponcon she’d be much more blatant in tagged Kayla etc rather than just hash tagging the program.

I commented upthread but you may not see it as it was a reply to kiisseli. Try Abi & Joseph - they make tights with pockets big enough for your phone!

Girl, if you’re after tights with pockets, try out Abi & Joseph. It’s an Australian label but they do ship worldwide and they make awesome, fully opaque tights with pockets in the sides big enough to fit a phone. It’s a godsend when gymming/running as you don’t have to stick your phone between your sweaty boobs (or…

Add to that: people who don’t wipe down the equipment with sanitiser after using it. FFS, it’s not that hard. I’ve been a member at super cheap and super expensive gyms, and it doesn’t apparently matter how much money men (it’s always the men) spend, they do not wipe down the equipment after sweating on it - there’s…

You’ll be fine! I’m really lucky, pretty much all of the gyms I’ve been a member of have really well equipped ladies changing rooms, with nice showers, body wash and most importantly - hair dryers and straighteners, so it’s always been easy to go out after the gym, the annoying part is carrying around a gym bag.  

Right?! Her name is neither Kate nor Middleton. It’s always been the media that called her Kate, she goes by Catherine. How about using a woman’s chosen name to refer to her, ffs?!

RIGHT?! Surely with all that money and what not, she could have hot bridesmaid dresses? I’m neither rich nor famous, and my bridesmaid were BABES in their dresses (same colour hue but different dresses that suited them and their personal style).

Yep. People who speak English like to act like they’re super superior because “English is such a hard language to learn” and that learning another on top of one that is “so so hard” is impossible but actually, I would say English is pretty easy is comparison to many others. I speak Dutch, which I learnt as a 16 year…

Doctors offices would be a homeland for discovering stupid names. I have a few friends who are nurses with some crazy stories. I remember one friend years ago saying how she went in to tell a woman who had just given birth that she had chlamydia and the woman said “YES! PERFECT NAME! I’ll spell it with a K!”. My…

Just FYI, they’re first cousins once removed, not second cousins. A second cousin is the child of your parent’s first cousin.

Right?! I live in Sydney and rent a one bedroom + study apartment. Sales records show it last sold for $1.1million. It’s all of 69sq metres! Ffs!

Maybe Marie Wilson has a true “soccer mom next door” thing going for her??

Poor child. This cousin also has a son with a horrendous name that is definitely in porn star territory. Why do people do this to their poor, innocent children?!

One of my husband’s cousins has a child called Karisma Angel. The running joke amongst my husband and his brothers is that at least if she wants to be a stripper, she won’t need to pick a stage name.

No, Washington DC to California is similar to Brisbane to Perth (4000+km). Brisbane to Sydney is 915km, so you could cycle it over a few days, but not in a few hours!

Hahaha, I can only distinguish Fries and Drents from Dutch-Dutch (I lived in Schoonebeek & Coevorden when I was over there but had a lot of Fries friends). When I speak dutch to a dutch person, they know I learnt in Drenthe from my beautiful farmer accent.

Oh man, this kind of thing reminds me of tourists coming to Australia and thinking they can drive from Brisbane to Perth in an afternoon, hahaha NO! I once had a tourist on his bike stop me outside my uni (in Brisbane) asking me directions to Sydney. I asked if he intended to ride his bike and he said yes, he was…

*raises hand* also me! It helped that my family are from the country, so in the afternoons, there would sometimes be up to 50 kangaroos just hopping about in the street outside our house. I’d show them photos and be like “and that’s my roo, Skip, and that’s my sister’s roo, Matilda, and that’s my mum’s roo, Banjo etc…

I’m Australian and did a year long high school exchange to the Netherlands. At the end ignore it, I was getting people’s email addresses and one guy asked me if we had the internet in Australia. I said “no, and e don’t have electricity either”. HE BELIEVED ME!
